This journal is my fannish space. I rarely post about non-fannish things here.

"Brightknightie"

My online fannish journey began in email-list days with Forever Knight. I was a "Knightie" (a partisan of the hero) and my "Bright" means that while I love serious, sad, and even "whump" stories, I side always with hope and salvation, never despair or destruction (in FK's metaphor, that's always humanity, never vampirism). Recently, I learned that "noblebright" and "hopepunk" had been coined as genre labels for the kind of storytelling I love best. As bleak and dark as the world can be, good is real and worth fighting for.

Fandoms

My dearest TV fandoms — Battlestar Galactica (original, 1978-1979), Dungeons & Dragons (cartoon, 1983-1985), Forever Knight (1992-1996), Highlander (1992-1998) — are all long-canceled and in frequent peril of being rebooted by folks whom I worry may not love and understand them as well as I like to imagine I do. :-) I'm presently about halfway through watching Babylon 5 for the very first time; it originally aired opposite Star Trek: Deep Space 9 where I lived, so I missed it.

Among not-yet-canceled properties... My highest delight is Overly Sarcastic Productions. Try them; you'll love them! I hugely enjoy "Sacred Realms: A Zelda Retrospective Podcast." I've got my fingers crossed for a re-release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Switch 2, enormously enjoyed playing the most recent mainline TLOZ Echoes of Wisdom, have watched gameplay and cut-scenes from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (I haven't played musou-style myself), and am cautiously optimistic about the coming live-action movie. As a life-long Marvel reader, I am on the spot for everything MCU and have opinions by the yard that may or may not match anyone else's. In the comics, I am currently all in for the awesome writing of Jed MacKay, whichever book they assign him. I'm on board for Strange New Worlds, My Adventures with Superman, and most things on PBS's Masterpiece, presently Bookish and All Creatures Great & Small. Not to mention books! Books! All long-nineteenth-century English-language literature plus Stout, Bujold, and The Journey to the West? For starters.

Fanfic

I mostly write canon-driven gen that sides with heroes. I non-ironically love good guys being good, especially choosing the hard right over the easy wrong (see above about noblebright/hopepunk). Check out my list of works on the AO3.

Dreamwidth is my fannish social media at this time. You can contact me here by DMing this journal or replying to my posts. Or you can email me at the same email address I've used since '99. Or, of course, comment on one of my stories!

Writing for me in an exchange or event?

Thank you! I have a "fanfic likes & dislikes" tag, with all my past "Dear Author" letters and the like, and also a standing summary, in case that helps! Please write from whatever you love most in our shared fandom(s). ♥
